My name is Carletta Fellows and I am vying for a seat on the WPFW Local Station Board. Like the mission of WPFW, I believe in being the catalyst of informing the uninformed, increasing the knowledge of the advent listener through quality programs, educating those who lack resources and engaging the population who go unnoticed and unheard. I have been an advent listener, volunteer and supporter of WPFW for about 5 years.

My name is Campbell C. Johnson, III. I am a third-generation Washingonian who is fully committed to the progressive, educational and uplifting focus of Pacifica’s Mission Statement.

My name is Luzette King and I have served on the WPFW Local Station Board since its inception in 2003.

Now more than ever, the mission of Pacifica is needed not only in the United States of America but worldwide, especially where there is a need to give voice to the voiceless. It is only with such collaboration that we can challenge the injustice that is inherent in this particular, global politico-economy that is perpetrated by the worlds most powerful.
